Ft Howard

3.1 Miles 20:58 6:46 average per mile6:15 am) mid 20's windyGot up early this morning. Wanted to do a short runin the Newton shoes. My first impression of them isnot favorable. Of course it's too early to say I don't like them. It might take several runs in thembefore I can pass judgement on them. The reasons Iwas not overly impressed at this point was the waythey felt while running. They seemed to make a slappingnoise when the shoes hit the pavement. This might be due to the design of the shoes. As for cushioning they did not feel as good as my Brooks Adrenaline 10.Afterwards my arch in my left foot was acting upnot sure why. Not sure if these have enough stabilityin them as well. Another issue I have with them isthey are very airy my feet would probably get coldif it was colder and I did a longer run in them. I'msure this would be a big plus however if it was summer time. The forcast is for a cold snap so I probably wont run in them again for a week or so.
